Love Me Like You Hate Me

Don’t look at me like that…

You know exactly what you’re doing.

If you want me gone…

Then why are you still here?

You say you can’t stand me, but you won’t let go

Every time I leave, you’re the one saying no

We fight like strangers, kiss like lovers

One minute we’re done, next we’re pulling each other closer

You know all my secrets, I know all your scars

We can tear each other down without saying a word

You call me crazy, I call you cruel

Maybe we’re both a little fucked up, but I still want you

We’re poison and medicine

We’re heaven and hell

Every time we break apart

We find our way back again

Love me like you hate me

Hold me like you can’t

Tell me that you need me

Then push me from your hands

We can fight until the morning

We can lie until it’s true

If you love me like you hate me

I’ll hate myself for loving you

You know exactly where to touch my heart

Then you find the weakest place and tear it apart

I should walk away, but I never do

There’s something fucking dangerous about wanting you

Your jealousy looks good when you’re trying to hide it

My temper gets worse when you try to deny it

We’re a beautiful disaster dressed in black

And every time we say goodbye, we know we’re coming back

We’re poison and medicine

We’re heaven and hell

Every time we break apart

We find our way back again

Love me like you hate me

Hold me like you can’t

Tell me that you need me

Then push me from your hands

We can fight until the morning

We can lie until it’s true

If you love me like you hate me

I’ll hate myself for loving you

Maybe love isn’t supposed to hurt this much

Maybe we’re confusing pain with being touched

Maybe we’re addicted to the highs and lows

Maybe we’re terrified of being alone

But when you look at me

I forget every reason

I promised myself

I’d never come back

Say you hate me…

Say you need me…

Push me away…

Then come back and fucking kiss me.

Love me like you hate me

Hold me like you can’t

Tell me that you need me

Then push me from your hands

We can fight until the morning

We can lie until it’s true

If you love me like you hate me

I’ll hate myself for loving you

Love me like you hate me

Even when we’re breaking

Maybe we’re a tragedy

That neither one is escaping

I should leave.

You should let me.

But you won’t.

And neither will I.
